NATO allies will not intervene in the war that russia has waged against Ukraine, but the Alliance can provide Ukraine with modern combat aircraft for self-defense.

This was stated by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg during a briefing in Brussels today, Ukrinform reports.

Moreover, Stoltenberg noted the urgency of delivering key capabilities to Ukraine, including weapons and ammunition,  before russia can seize the initiative on the battlefield.

He also emphasized that NATO will support Ukraine for as long as it takes.

The Secretary-General also noted that "speed saves lives." Stoltenberg continued that if putin wins in Ukraine, it will signal to authoritarian states worldwide that they can use force for their foreign policy goals.
